Peter is shocked to see his dad alive, and standing
in front of him. Richard approaches Gwen and asks how she is feeling.
Richard then says that he will explain everything, while they eat some
cold pizza. Skip over to Oscorp, MJ is strapped into a familiar chair
with the disfigured Peter standing by. Peter says that soon sheíll be
transformed, but heís suddenly attacked by a six armed Spider-Man in a
black costume! The disfigured Peter ends up winning the fight and he
continues what he was doing. Back at the Parker house, Richard explains
that he never got on the plane that crashed and supposedly killed him
along with his wife and the Brocks. Richard had intentions of coming to
get Peter from Ben and May, but the CIA got in the way. Richard ended up
working for the CIA so that they could stay one step ahead of Nick Fury
and his super soldier serum. Working with the CIA, Richard found out that
Peter is Spider-Man, and so he went to visit May. When May saw him, she
was frightened and told him to stay away from Peter. Before Richard can
go too much further with his story, Nick Fury arrives outside the home
with a battalion of Spider Slayers. Suddenly, Gwen transforms into
Carnage. Peter is shocked and wants to just talk to Fury, but as he turns
around, May falls to the ground complaining about her heart. Skip back
over to Oscorp, the disfigured Peter says to MJ, ďItís an all-new you.Ē

For the landmark 100th issue, this was awesome! There are way
too many likable things in this issue to list, so hereís just a few:
Bendis kept me on edge through the whole book, dangling clues in front of
me, but Iím still not sure whatís what yet. Richard Parker being alive is
a really bold move for this book. Assuming that Richard will stick around
past this story arc, his presence in Peterís life will most likely change
everything. But with Richardís story being, as of now, incomplete, and a
bit fishy, something tells me that heís got his own hidden agenda. Asking
Peter to suit up and fight Fury and the Spider-Slayers seemed a little
peculiar, but itís definitely making me anxious to read the next issue.
Not to mention the fact that Gwen turned into Carnage! Thereís a lot of
speculating to be done on this story. Now, onto the art; not a glitch in
it. The art was amazing. In fact, I believe that Bagley and the team
made special efforts on this issue to make sure it was bold and flawless.
Bagleyís unpublished work on the added pages were a nice touch. Seeing
the sketched concepts, and then looking at how the art has evolved is
interesting. One other thing, the recap pages of the entire series
cleared up a few unanswered questions; namely how Harry became the
Hobgoblin.

Dislikes:
The only thing I could dislike is that this book was advertised as a
double sized issue. With that said, I expected 44 pages of reading, but
instead only got 32. Even though, ten extra readable pages, plus the
bonus art work at the end, you canít go wrong.

Nick Fury: AS YOU CAN SEE... I AM NOT SCREWING AROUND.

Rating: 5 out 5

collection. Iím looking forward to the next 100
issues!

Plot:
Peter canít believe his eyes; Gwen Stacy is alive, and standing in front
of him at his old house. Shift over to Oscorp, Mary Jane gets the first
glimpse of her captor: a Peter Parker with a deformed face. This Peter
tells MJ that heís going to make her just like him. Over at the Baxter
building, Reed and Susan of the FF are trying to get answers from the
Scorpion. Scorpion asks if heís back at the zoo. Reed and Susan decide
to call Nick Fury. Back at the former Parker home, Gwen explains that she
woke up in a hospital, but everything is blurry from there. We see images
of a dead doctor, a guard shooting, and a view of the city from the top of
a building. Suddenly, Aunt May walks in. She seeís Gwen, and then runs
back to her house, frightened. Peter and Gwen follow her. Peter quickly
comes out and confesses to May: He tells her that heís Spider-Man. After
Peter proves it by sticking to the ceiling, Aunt May tells him and Gwen
both to get out! Peter canít believe her reaction. Then, in walks
Peterís dad, Richard Parker. Richard tells May to lay off Peter, heís
just a kid. May does not seem surprised to see Richard alive, and she
tells him to take his son and get out. Back at the Baxter building, Nick
Fury arrives and sees the Scorpion. Reed explains that someone is making
clones of Peter Parker. Fury calls back to base with an order to get the
whole battalion of Spider Slayers ready. Heíll meet them in Queens.

Likes:
This issue had some amazing art, and some shocking advances in the story.
However....

Dislikes:

....Even though there were some
big twists in this issue, I really feel that it was poorly written. The
dialogue of the characters seemed so jumbled. A prime example was the
conversation between Reed, Susan, and Scorpion. It took four pages of
gibberish and repeating things we already knew, before Reed and Susan
decided to call Nick Fury. Next, Aunt Mayís reaction to seeing Gwen, and
hearing Peterís secret was brought to a calm conversation far too
quickly. Aunt May is a normal person who believes in a normal life, I
think her reaction was out of character. Then again, with her unsurprised
reaction to Richard Parker showing up, perhaps this isnít the real Aunt
May. With what weíve learned in the past three issues, all we can do is
speculate.

Rating:
3 out 5 webs. The Clone Saga is moving at a rather slow pace. The best
part of this issue was the reveal of the deformed Peter Parker. The rest
of the story, though it did move the story along, felt very stretched out
with a lot of gibberish.

Plot:
We begin with Captain Jeanne DeWolfe discovering Moon Knights awakening
and escape from the hospital. Cut to: Spidey once again stopping a crime
in progress by the Shocker. Spidey decides to drop Shocker off to the
police. When he gets there, De Wolfe wants to speak with Spidey on the
roof. DeWolfe explains that thereís a new guy, Frank Oliver, that calls
himself the Kangaroo. Kangaroo is a new gang lord that is trying to take
over the Kingpinís territory. She wants Spidey to go after him and bring
him down. Spidey thinks that this is an odd request from DeWolfe, and
says that if he sees this Kangaroo doing something bad, he will act
accordingly. After Spidey leaves, DeWolfe calls Kingpin and informs him
of her success in using Spider-Man. As Spider-Man watches Kangarooís
place, a fight breaks out inside. Spidey invites himself in to find
Daredevil taking on Kangaroo and his men.
Enter the Punisher and Moon Knight, who only seem to make matters
worse by fighting each other. While Spidey webs up Punisher and Moon
Knight, Daredevil takes care of the Kangaroo. Captain DeWolfe arrives
with a bunch of other police. They arrest the Kangaroo. Spidey informs
DeWolfe that he has the Punisher and Moon Knight webbed up on the roof
top. Just then, Punisher, breaking free, shoots and kills DeWolfe.
Spidey goes to beat up the Punisher, but Daredevil explains that DeWolfe
was a dirty cop, and is rumored to be sleeping with the Kingpin. Spidey
has a bit of denial, but accepts it. They depart, leaving the Punisher
for the police. Next we find Daredevil waiting for Moon Knight at his
home. Daredevil wonders Moon Knightís interest in joining a group if he
were to put one together. We end with the Kingpin appearing sad as he
sits on his bed. Likely mourning the death of Jeanne DeWolfe.

Likes:
This was a well written, well drawn, fast paced story. Iím not usually
much for fast paced stories, but this one Iíll make exception for because
of all the things that happened within. There was the introduction of a
new character, Ultimate Kangaroo, along with the return of many old ones.
We got a small glimpse into the brutal past of the Punisher from the
Previously Page. His past helps out a lot with his reasoning to shoot
Captain DeWolfe, and Iím glad to see that itís at least slightly different
than the 616 version. Although Moon Knightís presence and use in this
issue was to basically get in the way, I really enjoy his character and
hope to see his return again. Moon Knightís schizophrenic mind is
intriguing because anything can happen with him, and we donít really know
anything about him. I canít wait to see what Daredevil and him are going
to put together.

Dislikes:
The death of Captain DeWolfe seemed like a waste to me. We had just found
out in the Warriors arc that DeWolfe was a dirty cop. Now, in the very
next story that sheís used in, sheís killed? Iíd have liked to seen her
hidden agendas for the Kingpin used a few more times with Spidey. That
way, Spidey, who has trusted her so long, could finally confront her about
the truth. I just feel like some good stories have gone to waste with her
death.

Rating:
4 out of 5 webs. On the first Annual, I knocked on Brooksí artwork a bit
because it just didnít feel like Ultimate; but this issue was much
better. Mark Brooks is great at drawing Spider-Man fight scenes, and
since thatís what this issue is filled with, it was awesome! Come to
think of it, we didnít even see Peter Parkerís face once. Anyway, great
art, great story, great book, but minus one web for the waste of a
character that was full of potential.

Plot:Spider-Man visits the Fantastic Four, packing an unconscious
Ultimate Scorpion. Spidey asks Reed to run some tests on the Scorpion to
find out who he is. After a few tests, Reed finds that the Scorpion is
none other than Peter Parker. Scared out of his mind, Spidey reveals his
identity to the Fantastic Four which shocks them. Reed contacts Nick Fury
and asks if anyone is in the business of cloning, but Fury says no because
itís illegal, and to not even ask to. After that, Reed says that he is
going to run some more tests, and takes some of Spideyís blood. Spidey
then realizes that he has to get home, and so he leaves. When he gets
home, Aunt May informs him that Mary Jane has disappeared.
Peter quickly runs over to MJís house. Peter searches MJís room, and
from outside we can see hand prints on the outside wall near the window.
Peter then rushes to the old warehouse that him and MJ use to hide out.
But when he arrives, he is confronted by what appears to be Ultimate
Spider-Girl. Suspecting that this Spider-Girl has kidnapped MJ, Peter
lets his frustration get the best of him, and he attacks her.
Spider-Girl, possessing many of Spider-Manís powers, (plus the ability to
fire webbing from her fingertips) manages to knock Peter out. After
checking Peterís pulse, Spider-Girl states: ďIíll get them back for you,
Peter. Iíll do it for all of us.Ē She then leaves. Peter finally wakes
up, and itís night time. On his way home, he notices that the front door
to his old home is wide open. Thinking that MJ might be inside, he rushes
in and surprisingly finds Gwen Stacy, Alive!
We next shift over to Mary Jane, who is apparently being held in a
large glass cage. As she wakes up, a shadowy figure enters the room that
the glass cage is in. MJ recognizes this personís voice as Peter. The
supposed Peter starts talking about how he is going to protect MJ, and
that he should have thought of this years ago. MJ begins screaming, and
we zoom out to discover that she is trapped inside Oscorp.

Likes:
I especially enjoyed this issue. So much happened in these pages, and
nothing seemed short handed or drawn out too long. Peterís reaction was
exactly what I would expect from someone in his position. Someone has
cloned him, someoneís kidnapped MJ, and Gwen, who he thought was dead is
suddenly alive! Heís got a lot to shove through his head right now. The
art is top notch in this issue, and Bendis is making us really wonder with
the unexplained remarks by both Scorpion and Spider-Girl. But the way
that this story arc is moving, I really believe that itís going to be
worth all the wonder.

Dislikes:
Not a thing. A perfect issue, that I recommend to everyone.

Plot:
Peter is on the phone, apparently having an argument with Kitty Pryde.
Kitty is upset that Peter is spending so much time with Mary Jane. Kitty
even declares that Peter is still in love with MJ, and Peter does not deny
it. Aunt May enters the room, and Peter hangs up. We next find Peter in
the school hallways, where MJ invites Peter to the mall. They go, and
have a friendly conversation over some pizza. Suddenly, thereís chaos in
the mall; someoneís attacking it. Peter tells MJ to leave, and she
promises that she will. Peter then changes to Spider-Man and confronts
the person responsible for the chaos: Ultimate Scorpion. Scorpion starts
rambling about how he isnít going to be fooled by this, and how he knows
he was here. Spidey has no idea what heís talking about, and the fight
begins. Scorpion manages to shoot some sort of goo from his wrists at
some police officers, who return fire. But their bullets do no good.
Scorpion starts rambling more saying that some guy told him: ďWho are you
masked mystery man? Unveil yourself to the crowd.Ē Spidey starts
punching away at Scorpionís head until his mask falls apart revealing the
face of Peter Parker! Spidey is stunned. Skip to MJ returning home and
telling her mom what happened at the mall, and how she ran straight home.
Her mom worries, but then MJ goes to her room and begins to write in her
diary. Someone else is in the room however, and covers MJís mouth.
Moments later, MJís mom enters the room and finds it empty. Mary Jane has
been kidnaped.

Likes:
Okay, so Peter and Kittyís relationship is starting to get a little
rocky. This could be the beginning to an interesting love triangle since
MJ is starting to be all friendly with Peter again. The art looks great,
with lots of detail throughout. Ultimate Scorpion looks awesome, although
I canít say that I was surprised at his identity considering the title of
the story. The fight scene seemed a little long, but I suppose it should
be since Spidey was basically fighting a copy of himself.

Dislikes: Mary Janeís sudden mood swing to Ďbest friendí again, without
explanation, is a little annoying. Although, I do recall, several issues
back, MJ seemed very determined to get Peter back. Maybe this is that
determination finally showing up. Not much more to dislike about this
issue than that.

4.5 out of 5 webs. This issue was a great start to the Clone Saga Arc.
Complete with two cliffhangers, I have to say that Iím doubly looking
forward to next issue. Hereís hoping that the rest of the Ultimate Clone
Saga is just as enjoyable.

Plot:
This issue starts out with Ben Urich recalling that he had been bitten by
a vampire. Heís laying on the floor, apparently paralyzed, watching as
Spider-Man, Morbius, a talking wolf, and vampire Jennifer Grunwald
battle. Morbius keeps insisting that Spidey is only getting in the way,
but Spidey just canít see how anyone in the room is a good guy. This
battle ends with Morbius running a stake through Jenniferís heart, the
wolf retreating into a swarm of bats, and Spider-Man swinging away with
Ben Urich. Spidey takes Ben to the hospital where he gets a lot of hate
from the doctors and guards on hand. Spidey leaves after the doctor
insists that heís upsetting everyone. He leaves Ben behind. Later, Ben
is alone in a hospital room strapped to the bed. The doctors donít know
what to think about his condition. Ben keeps saying that heís hungry.
Morbius comes out of the shadows and approaches Ben saying that itís
almost over. Spider-Man then drops from the ceiling where he was hiding
and kicks Morbius. The fighting doesnít last long as Morbius explains
that he is trying to save Ben. Morbius says that he refuses to give into
the curse of being a vampire. Spidey doesnít believe him and tries to
stop Morbius from getting near Ben, but Morbius throws Spidey out of the
room.
In the hallway, Spidey is met by three other vampires who
attack him and succeed in biting his neck. The vampire that bites Spidey
turns away and spits out the blood saying that it is tainted. Morbius
then attacks and slays the vampires. Spidey flips out thinking that heís
going to die, but Morbius , removing Spideyís mask, and reassures him that
heíll be fine because his blood is diseased. Morbius then shows that he
has saved Ben who is now resting peacefully. Morbius then disappears, and
Spider-Man leaves just as Ben wakes up. We next find Peter, looking very
unwell, and sporting a turtleneck in class about to dissect a frog. Mary
Jane approaches him with a joke, but Peter doesnít feel like a joke. He
then shows her the bite on his neck. Peter goes on about how heís too
young to be doing and seeing these things. MJ comforts Peter with a
hug.

Likes:
The art has definitely improved from last issue. And even though the
story did not wrap up completely in my eyes, I still found it as a very
enjoyable read.

Dislikes: Okay, so Blade really didnít play a big part in this story at
all? He wasnít even seen in this issue. Also, who was the talking wolf?
Was he just a leader of vampires? And what was up with Mary Jane? Last
issue she practically hated Peter and wanted nothing to do with him. Now
sheís all wanting to sit with him, joke with him, and hug him? (Insert
moody female joke here) Thereís a lot of unanswered questions here.
Morbius is really a cool character, and I wish that they would have taken
at least three issues to tell his story instead of cramming it into two.

Another 3 out 5 webs. Great story, great art, but I just feel like it was
crammed together too much. I wouldnít have minded picking up another
issue of this story just to feel some closure.

Months ago: Spider-Man swings
through the city when he notices one man running from another with a gun.
Spidey investigates to find that the first man is a vampire, and the man
chasing is Blade. Spidey gets the situation wrong, and Blade gets mad at
him. Blade then kills the vampire and runs away. Today: At the Bugle,
Peter talks on the phone with Kitty about how the Spider-Man/Kitty romance
is all over the internet. Kitty is grounded at the X-mansion until the
whole thing with Krakoa island dies down. Peter gets off the phone when
he over hears Ben Urich trying to pitch a story about Vampires to Jonah.
The story is decided to be too flimsy, but Peter asks to read it anyway.
Basically, some librarian named Jennifer Grunwald claims to have been
hypnotized, and then bit by a vampire. The next day after school, Peter
tries to talk to Mary Jane, but MJ holds up a newspaper of the
Spider-Man/Kitty thing. MJ canít understand why Peter had to break up
with her so bad because she was unsafe, but two weeks later heís dating
ďgangly-girlĒas she says. Peter tries to explain, and tells MJ that she
is still his best friend, but MJ says that he is not hers. Peter even
insists that MJ find someone else, but she only gets mad and walks away.
Later, we find Ben Urich visiting the Jennifer lady to get more
information. The door opens, and reveals Jennifer to be a vampire.
Jennifer bites Ben. The next day, police officers are at the Bugle
looking for Ben because he has gone missing. Peter immediately assumes
the worst: vampires. Spidey swings over to Jenniferís apartment where a
wolf (that can talk), bursts out of a window being chased by bats. The
wolf jumps back in through the window. Spidey jumps in the window to find
Jennifer, Ben, the wolf, and Morbius. Then Morbius says, ďYou cannot win
this fight.Ē

Likes:

The Vampire story is off to a
great start. Weíve got the introduction of both Blade and Morbius, and
they both appear very mysterious. And whoís the talking wolf? Thereís a
lot to look forward to, not to mention Ben Urich turning into a vampire.
The storyís off to a good start, and flowed very well.

Dislikes:

The confrontation between Peter
and Mary Jane was good, but I imagined that Peter would have more feelings
for MJ than what he expressed. I mean, the two have been through a lot
together, so Peterís suggestions for MJ to find someone else seemed a
little far from his character. Also, sadly the art seems to be coming in
a little shy. When I first saw the art in this issue, I had to double
check the credits to make sure it was Bagley. The darker pages, and the
fight panels seemed fine, but particularly Peterís face looked awful in
this issue. One other thing, not exactly a dislike, but the fight with
Blade was basically a copy of what happened in Ultimate Spider-Man Super
Special #1. As I understand that issue is not supposed to be in
continuity with this book, so maybe only that one part is. Which brings
up the whole problem with the Ultimate Universe, you never know what is
canon, and what isnít. Itís just a little aggravating when you try to
piece together a story.

looking really good right now, but everything has to wrap up in the next
issue. Canít believe Iím saying this about Ultimate, but I wish the story
was going to be longer. Hope to see that the art improves next issue.

Plot:
Picking up from last issue, the X-Men appear fooled by Deadpool acting as
Professor Xavier. However Spider-Manís spider sense alerts him, and the
fight picks up again. Elsewhere on the island, we find Professor Xavier
being held captive by Mojo. Mojo is forcing Xavier to watch as his
students as they are hunted, as punishment for his crimes against
humanity. Meanwhile the fight continues; and when Spidey gets hit, Kitty
gets mad. Kitty uses her phasing ability to phase through the Reavers and
mess up their circuits. After recovering, Spidey once again unmasks
Deadpool to find a gruesome, brain exposed skull. Deadpool then seemingly
self destructs, but Spidey is spared by Kittyís phasing ability. Then,
with the return of Cyclops, the X-Men and Spider-man move forward to the
studio. Jean Grey takes care of Augustus Beezer, and apparently helps
free Xavier from a distance. After closing his mind to Jean, Xavier then
takes care of Mojo. Xavier thanks Spider-Man for his help, and as they
fly home, we see a burnt Deadpool watching from a hill top. Peter has
decided that he has to tell his Aunt May that heís Spider-Man, so Kitty
decides to help by being with him when he does it. But, when Peter and
Kitty get inside the home, they find it empty. Aunt May has left a
message on the answering machine; sheís staying the night with a friend,
Dr. Miles Warren. Peter just dodged a bullet.

Likes:
This was an excellent ending to the Deadpool story arc, and a great lead
into the next story: Morbius. Iím really enjoying Peterís relationship
with Kitty Pryde. Through this story arc, theyíve both showed that they
will stand up for each other. I keep telling myself that Iím sure it
wonít last, but who knows, maybe in this Ultimate Universe, Spidey isnít
meant to be with MJ. Also, instead of Aunt May dating Doc Ock, sheís
hooking up with Miles Warren!

Dislikes:
Not much... the story was very vague about what happened to Cyclops and
how he returned so easily after appearing to be at Deadpoolís mercy.
Also, I know that I saw Ice Man in the helicopter in Issue 92, and we
didnít see him anymore after that. I just wonder if Bendis and Bagley
forgot that Ice Man was there.

4 out of 5 webs. The art was amazing, the story came to a good close, and
the cliffhanger was... well lets just not put too much thought into that.
Minus one web for the uncertainty of Cyclops and Ice man.

This issue begins with the battle between Spider-man
and the X-Men against Deadpool, and his Reavers. Meanwhile, a man named
Augustus Beezer hosts the fight as it airs over television. Beezer
explains that the X-Men have been brought back to Krakoa Island for their
crimes against humanity. We get a little background on Deadpoolís Reavers
through file footage. Turns out they willingly made advancements to their
bodies for the simple purpose of killing mutants. As Deadpoolís file
footage continues to speak about how much he hates mutants, the big fight
goes on. The cameras manage to zoom in on Spidey and Kitty having an
argument. Apparently, Spider-Man has made a comment about not being a
mutant, and Kitty took offence to it. The fight with the Reavers picks up
again, and then Spidey lets loose on Deadpool. With Deadpool pinned on
the ground, Spidey pulls off his mask to reveal Professor Xavier of the
X-Men.

Likes:

Again, this issue like last, has a very little to
desire, but it is slightly better than last. Spidey and Kitty are
seemingly having their first argument, and if sheís taking his comment in
a racial way, it isnít going to be good for Spidey. The fight scenes do
not seem over done, but under done at this point: The fate of Cyclops and
Angel is still unsure, but will probably be explained in next issue. The
cliffhanger was descent, but I believe it is a little obvious what the
outcome will be.

Dislikes:

The setup of the on-screen panels was quite
annoying. Iíd have rather seen speech bubbles all over the page, than a
black box with colored text that signifies whoís speaking. Following the
colors and trying to find out who said what was annoying.

webs. The Deadpool arc has not been a bad story, by all means itís a
great setup, but Iím finding it to be poorly written in this issue.
Hopefully next issue will make me wish I had given this one a better
score. Also, I think I remember seeing Ice Man in the helicopter in Issue
92... Wonder what happened to him?

We start out from Spider-Manís point of view. He is
just now opening his eyes to see all of the X-Men shackled and unconscious
around him. One of Deadpoolís men notices that Spidey is awake and zaps
him back out. Later, Spidey is waking up again, this time to Deadpool and
his men throwing him and the X-Men all out of a helicopter toward and
island. Spider-Man manages to make a net out of webbing for him to land
in, but loses one of his boots in the bounce. Spidey meets up with the
X-Men, one by one, each time having to fight of groups of cyborgs. The
X-men give us a little background about what happened; each of them were
attacked by another X-Men, which leads them to believe that there is a
shape shifter behind everything. The X-Men then tell us that they have
been on this island before, itís name is Krakoa. Itís a prison for
mutants, where not only are they kept, but they are hunted as sport, and
the whole thing is broadcasted on TV. Then, out of the bushes comes
Deadpool and his cyborgs ready to attack.

Likes:

Not much. But if I had to pick something, I would
have to say that the fight panels were well scripted and drawn. Other
than that, this issue really loses me.

Dislikes:

This whole issue seemed very unnecessary. Sure it
keeps us from assuming that all of the X-Men were attacked by a shape
shifter, but that was pretty much implied in last issue. This entire
issue was dedicated to bringing the group back together. I just feel like
the reunion could have been done in half the pages if there wasnít so much
unneeded gibberish between the characters.
